Fred. Mussey has written up the
seven Anarchists in Jail at Chicago
impartially-fairly, with good sketch
of the Haymarket bomb throwing and
consequent murders. Yet, put the
best construction possible upon the
situation, every patriotic man will
concede that these murderous and bru-
tai devils have lived too long already.
Shutting them up in prisons is not
the safe way nor the right way. Their
crime reaches, in point of horror, far
beyond any possible crime, not Of the
same class. These scoundrels could
see nothing grander beneath the
American flag than highway robbery
and murder-the most horrible form
Of murder known to mankind. Amer
lea has no room for such brutal fends.
No fear Of their being called mar
tyrs." Wilkes Booth wus not mar
tyr; Jules Guiteau was not a martyr;
none Of the brutal, murderous devils
who have danced at the ends of ropes
for numbering their fellow men, were
martyrs, or were considered martyrs.
These Chicago Anarchists ought to be
hung at the earliest possible moment
the law will permit. In fact they are
several years too old now. The idea
Of Socialism" as Spies is pleased to
call it, should be throttled in man.
ner that would teach professional
murderers from other countries that
they cannot find congenial atmos-
phere in America. Every good citi-
zen in the State Of Illinois-yea, in
the United States, should loudly and
persistently demand the hanging Of
the miserable dogs.

When GOV. Wilson issues 4 certificate Of ap-
pointment as Senator to Hon. Daniel b. Lucas,
a vacancy will occur in the Legislature and, we
presume, a special election must take place in
this county to fill it, in order that Jefferson
county may be fully represented in the extra
session which will be convened to complete
unfinished work-principally to pass the ap-
preparation bills, without which the State go
vcrnment cannot be carried on. We under
stand the extra session will be called for the
10Th of April-perhaps earlier; and a part of
its work, in the opinion of the best legal lights
as they construe the Constitution of the United
States and regard precedents will be the cleo
ton of q United States Senator. \ writer in
the Wheeling Register says
"Iraftcr the 4th day of March the Governor
shall. 10y reason of the failure of the Legisla-
ture to elect a Senator, appoint a Senator, that
appOintee will be Senator until the next regu-
lar general, special, particular, or called meet
ing of the Legislature shall come TO pass. Then
the Legislature can 90 ahead and elect a Sena-
tor In his place Thus the appointee of the Gov
ernor holds for no fixed period If the Cover
nor calls the Legislature together in April to
pass Appropriation bills or for any purpose,
that Legislature can and will elect Senator
Gamblers successor.

One Of KempIe's Jokes.

The resolution presented by Senator Daw-
son providing for an investigation OF some
Senator not named on the charge of ac-
cepting bride was brought up by Senator
Sommeryille,v demanded Ex-senator Daw-
son the reason Of the resolution and the
name of the bribe-taker. The speech of
Sommeryille wyought up the excitable
Dawson, who III lie a splatter gun speech
containing V and incoherent threats
and charges, w-.ch left the Senate in as
much uncertainty as the original resolution.
During the excitement it was developed
that Dawson had builded his sensation up
on what had been overheard of a converse
ton between Col. Jacob Kemple and an
other gentleman, in which Col. Jacob had
discoursed upon the relative value of diff
ferent statesmen of the Legislature, and all
of which was an extrayagant joke, pure and
simple and characteristic of Col Kemple.
It was said by the Col. that members were
too high, and that he was opposed to pay
ing over fifteen hundred dollars for such
men as Minear. Upon this the resolution
was offered, and a sensation promised. 1t
was also done to scare any other Repubh-
cans who might be weakening.
